*Precision and Clarity: Emphasis on mathematical exposition-an accurate and understandable treatment of the topics. The mathematical statements are careful and precise. The basic concepts and important points are not obscured by excess verbiage. * Accessibility: Completely accessible to the beginning calculus student without sacrificing mathematical rigor. * Balance of Theory and Applications: Problems drawn from the sciences and engineering are used to motivate calculus concepts and these concepts, in return, are applied to a variety of disciplines in the examples and exercises.
